ONE SMALL VOICE
by Carole King
The emperor's got no clothes on
No clothes-that can't be
He's the emperor
Take that child away
Don't let the people hear
the words he has to say
One small voice
Speakin' out in honesty
Sileneced but not for long
One small voice
Speakin' with the values
we were taught as children
So you walk way and say
Isn't he divine
DOn't those clothes look fine
On the emperor
And as you take your leave
You wonder why you're feeling
so ill at ease
Don't you know
Lies-take your soul
You can't hide from your self
Lies-take their toll on you
and everyone else
One small voice
Speakin' out in honesty
Sileneced but not for long
One small voice
Speakin' with the values
we were taught as children
Tell the truth
You can change the world
But you better be strong
The emperor's got no clothes on
No clothes
He doesn't want to know what goes on
Though everyone knows
One small voice can change the world
But y'better be strong
